Description
Summary:The aim of this work was to identify the compounds in the hexane extract of the mature fruits of Garcinia tinctoria by means of capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The study allowed identifying 51 chromatographic peaks. The mass spectra allowed the identification of 20 paraffins, 13 carboxylic acids and 15 phenolic and/or alcoholic compounds in the volatile fraction of hexane extract of pulp. The major compounds were: the stearic, palmitic and oleic acids.
